Live cable locator. Thanks Esteban , ISBN 5-88187-197-9 : 1000 . This primary purpose of this book is to "supply a number of tested and operating metal locator circuits that almost any electronic hobbyist, technician, or student can duplicate with comparative ease and put to use finding anything from valuable coins to large mineral deposits." Chapter #1 introduces you to different types of metal locators with basic explanations of each. Chapters 2-6 explain specialised circuits, including schematics, diagrams, photos, and helpful hints on construction and operation. Chapter #7 helps you select and use the proper type of metal locator. ISBN 0830605061 0 refs. (pulse induction) correction in 11/81, 3/82, VCO add on in 11/82.

Underwater Metal Locator

Radio-TV Experimenter

Spring 1963, Issue #620

This waterproof 4 foot loop will perform down to depths of 500 feet and with enough sensitivity to locate an aluminium boat at 10', 5 gal. can at 5', quart can at 2', and flashlight battery at 2". Beat oscillator type detector is designed with vacuum tubes and is powered from a 6v auto battery. 1-page article and schematic blueprints from a vintage 1960 magazine. Article page measures about 6.5" x 9". Folded blueprint section opens to 8" x 21". IB (Houndog (Huggard L.))?
